"We're both rotten."

My feelings are mixed for the move Double Indemnity. I thought the ending was terrible and really unbelievable because the acting wasn't very well done. Now that I think about it, the story was really dumb, but it surprisingly held my attention. I'm not sure what kept me watching during this movie, but I guess that explains the mixed feelings I have about it. I think that there could have been a little more action going on and the ending could have been a bit more dramatic and better played out by the actors.

This doesn't really have to do with what I am talking about, but something I always wonder from old films like this, and just history itself, is where people get there accent-like sounding voices. It's not a really strong accent, but no one sounds like that when they talk now-a-days so I would just like to know if anyone can explain that to me if it is not just an accent! I hope that I don't sound like an idiot but hopefully people know what i'm talking about because I always notice the voices and wonder where they get that from!
